The Himal region - the Hindukush-Karakorum-Himlayas (HKH)- is the world's largest mountain region extending 3,500km from Myanmar in the east to Afghanistan in the west, from the Tibetan plateau in the north to the Indo-Ganges basin in the south. To develop an IUCN Bangladesh mountain programme for the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in this region, a two-day workshop was organized. The proceedings of this workshop focus on the prioritized list of conservation issues in the Himal region, as well as perceived gaps and recommendations for Himal programme, a needs assessment and prioritization of conservation issues in the participating countries.

Coral reef management has focused traditionally on the biophysical aspects of coral reefs, but today reefs are coming under increasing pressures from human activities. Understanding the socioeconomic context of reef stakeholders is essential for assessing, predicting and managing reef use. This manual will assist coral reef managers around the world in making basic socioeconomic assessments in their communities.
